As Daylight Saving Time kicks off in South Miami today, residents can expect a warm and dry day to accompany the time change. The NEXT Weather Team has reported that temperatures are starting out warmer than usual, hovering in the low 70s, with highs across the metroplex reaching the low to mid-80s. It’s a perfect day to enjoy some outdoor activities before the weather takes a turn later in the week.
Daylight Saving Time officially began at 2 a.m. on Sunday, and with the clocks pushed forward, sunset will now fall at 7:26 p.m. This extended daylight is a welcome change for many! However, beachgoers should be cautious, as all South Florida beaches are currently under a High Rip Current Risk, and swimming is not advised.

Upcoming Weather Challenges
While Sunday promises pleasant conditions, stormy weather is on the horizon. The National Weather Service (NWS) is forecasting a strong disturbance moving through the region on Tuesday, which will bring heavy rain, strong winds, and the potential for localized flooding. Residents should brace themselves for an increased likelihood of showers and thunderstorms throughout Tuesday, particularly after 10 a.m. The high temperature for that day is expected to be around 75°F, with west winds at 10 mph.
Following Tuesday’s storms, the five-day forecast shows mostly sunny skies on Wednesday and Thursday, with highs remaining around 75°F and 78°F, respectively. Friday is anticipated to be mostly sunny as well, with a high near 75°F. Saturday will bring clear skies and a high of 76°F. However, the High Rip Current Risk is expected to persist through at least midweek, so beachgoers are advised to stay out of the water.
